Gun Broker should be run out on a rail 
Well, needing to buy more than you want to get what you want is kinda similar. I only needed and wanted a pound, but had to buy five pounds to be able to order it online from Graf's. Other vendors similar (one was full cases only). Five pounds is going to last me a really, really long time!! At least I got free hazmat and free shipping.
GB ain't what it used to be. I've scored a lot of good deals there, but not lately with their mandatory sales taxes and fees assessed to buyers.

I have bought several guns on GB but the latest was off of "Guns International". GI is more like a classified ad site rather than an auction site.

The same seller has been selling Goex for a month. Has 1F, 2F, and 3F. States to whoever wins an auction they have the option to buy more at that price. They must have a lot of Goex to sell. The auction I listed above is the third one he sold for 3F powder and the selling price was $275 to $325 for five pounds.

it's the convenience factor, and the majority of you (not meant as a point of contention) don't want to be inconvenienced with the storing of more then a pound or two, or think that it will go bad. I learned to buy it in case quantity 30 years ago because my kids and i were going to at least a shoot a month plus hunting 6 people shooting = lots of powder ! and it was a pain to go and fetch it from the local supplier. i shopped around and found Deer Creek they always had what i needed for several dollars less then the local guys, money was tight with 5 kids and a stay at home wife or daycare. no i'm retired and can afford to buy what i want when i want i still purchase it by the case. 1 of my kids still shoots with me every chance his employer will allow we travel hundreds of miles each month to shoot our muzzleloaders, his siblings refuse to buy more then a pound or two at a time and then bitch when they have to pay $45 a pound. a case is still less then $30 a pound delivered to your door

$65 a pound! In that case I have about $2,000 worth of powder sitting around.

Call the Governor's office. They enacted anti price gouging in NC for gas prices. (We know how well that worked)
Maybe we can get some relief!

I must be getting old. I remember when DuPont black powder sold at $1.50 per pound at the local hardware store and people complained that it was too high..... Of course minimum wage was 65 cents an hour at the time.

The only one getting any relief would be the governor.
After he pees on your request.
Something folks do not seem to be mentionng except about the price is the complaints of no local options. Well imagine you are opening your own store. Yea I know a lot a work. So where are you going to get your BP related products as the owner? Dixie? TOTW? Log cabin? MBS? Abes? Other places? Straight to the source? Ted Cash? Pedersoli? CVA? Traditions? RMC? Goex? BP you need to buy through a dealer. So you do these things. What price are you going to pay buying from them? Do they offer a dealer discount? Reseller discount? Or will you pay same retail we pay if ordering as an individual? If these folks offer that it is less profit to them. BP distributors are charging basically the same as you all will pay. $24-25 a pound of goex. So how you gonna make money and that price does not include shipping or hazmat. What price are you paying for a ted cash capper to resell? Remember you gotta put food on the table somehow with a cash profit. Complain about the added markup? How are they supposed to feed their families. Thus they close their doors and we scramble for sources and complain. $65 is a bit much right now......future?

65 bucks is three times the cost of European powder.
Screw anyone selling GOEX powder for 65 bucks when it's made right here in America.

I don't think you can blame Gun Broker for charging sales tax. I believe that is a federal or state regulation. It is all about the government getting their hands on more of our money. GB is just required to collect that tax.
